Keys to the Miami Dolphins @ New England Patriots

The Miami Dolphins (7-6) travel to New England to face the Patriots (10-3). The Dolphins will be looking to sweep the Patriots as they already beat the Patriots in week 1. This is by far the most important game of the year for the Dolphins with a win they are still in the hunt for a playoff spot, but with a loss they will be on the outside looking in. Here are my keys to the game for the Dolphins.

Get to Brady: In the first meeting the Dolphins did a good job of this by totaling 4 sacks. The Dolphins need to do this again and make Brady uncomfortable by hitting him to get them behind the chains.

Run the ball: I know we had Knowshon Moreno in the first meeting, but we need to run the ball effectively. Lamar Miller needs more carries and I hate how we abandon the run early in games when really we need to run more to help out Tannehill.

Contain Rob Gronkowski: We can't allow Gronk to have a big day against us like he has had in the past. We need to double team him cause putting one man on him whoever it is, is just not enough.

Avoid turnovers: If you want to win any game in this league you have to avoid turnovers especially against the Patriots we cant give the ball back to Brady for another opportunity to put points on the board.

Score Points: The last two weeks we have put up 16 and 13 points respectively that is not good enough. If we want to win this game we need to score more points than that. Brady will put up points, so we will need to match that.

I disagree. The most important game of the year was last week at home against Baltimore. A team they were in direct competition with for a playoff spot. If the Dolphins had won last week, they would not have been desperate for a win in New England that is not going to happen. They would have had control of their destiny. No, they blew it last week. They will lose this week and I would not be shocked to see them lose to NY or Minnesota also. Those teams are at least giving a 100% effort each week even though they are out of it.

ESPN Reporter Jeff Darlington (who used to cover the Dolphins when he worked for the Miami Herald and who is very tied in with the organization) stated that he believes the Dolphins and Jarvis Landry are close to a deal and Miami still may use the Franchise or Transition tag on him to hold onto him for 2018. The scenario that is least likely according to Darlington is Landry walks and is on another teams roster in 2018. Watch below....
